Artist conception of the K2-138 exoplanetary system, the first multi-planet system ever discovered by citizen scientists1. K2-138 is an orangish (K1) main sequence star about 200 parsecs away, with five known planets all between the size of Earth and Neptune orbiting in a very compact architecture. The planet’s orbits form an unbroken chain of 3:2 resonances, with orbital periods ranging from 2.3 and 12.8 days, orbiting the star between 0.03 and 0.10 AU. The limb of the hot sub-Neptunian world K2-138 f looms in the foreground at the bottom, with close neighbor K2-138 e visible (center) and the innermost planet K2-138 b transiting its star. The discovery study of the K2-138 system was led by Jessie Christiansen and collaborators (2018, Astronomical Journal, Volume 155, article 57). This research was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, under a contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Diam: 25 miles, Depth: rim to floor just under 2.5 mi, Central peak: about 1 1/4 mi On interesting thing about the central peak is that it appears to have been enlarged by volcanic activity- some indications of a heavily “eroded” vent at the summit. Of course the whole region is very old with a lot of subsequent impacts that make the identification uncertain. ____________________________________________________________ Next Meeting: ONLINE!

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Meaghan Scanlon MEMBER FOR GAVEN Record of Proceedings, 20 March 2018 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms SCANLON (Gaven—ALP) (3.31 pm): Thank you, Mr Speaker, and can I add my congratulations on your election to the important role of Speaker of this House. I rise for the first time today honoured to represent the people and community that I grew up in and love, and conscious of the incredible responsibility that has been bestowed upon me. I know that my presence here is rather unlikely so I thank the constituents of Gaven for their trust in me. My first acknowledgement is to the traditional owners of the land on which we gather here today, the Jagera and Turrbal peoples. I also acknowledge the traditional owners of the land that I represent, the Kombumerria and Wangerriburra people, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. One of my earliest memories of becoming interested in politics was in primary school where I learnt about our country’s cruel treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. I distinctly remember watching the Rabbit-Proof Fence in my year 7 social studies class and feeling a deep sense of shame. That shame heightened when I found out that our Prime Minister at the time, John Howard, was refusing to simply say sorry for the well-known and well-documented atrocities carried out against our First Australians. To sit in this House for the first time in the week of the 10th anniversary of Kevin Rudd’s National Apology to the Stolen Generations was a timely reminder of how much more we need to achieve along the path to reconciliation.
